Alleghany Meadows refurbished a 1967 30′ Airstream in 2001 to house an exhibition of contemporary ceramic art. Since then, the Art-Stream has been taking contemporary art to the street!

Alleghany Meadows is a studio potter in Carbondale, Colorado. He received his M.F.A. from New York State College of Ceramics at Alfred University. He apprenticed with Takashi Nakazato, Karatsu, Japan, received a Watson Foundation Fellowship for field study of potters in Nepal, and was an artist in residence at Anderson Ranch Arts Center.

I did however find another great company here in Boulder Colorado doing much the same thing–but aesthetically a little classier. Giancarlo de Astis has his studio & workshop here in Boulder and he gets his materials at the airplane bone yards of Arizona.

Mixing the metal with glass and wood, he creates a refined look to his functional objects.

I have also wanted to do a post for a long time about a friend of mine who is an architect working for David Hertz in Santa Monica. Their firm does amazing ecological design. The firm is also responsible for the material Syndesis, a light weight concrete incorporating recycled materials into it. The firm is currently materializing this Wing House Project in Malibu for Francie Rehwald. More on the Wing House Project here.
